I’ve been on 5 cruises and this is by far the worst. I had no idea a ship could be so rocky! Even when it is docked and you go to the gym you can look down the row of treadmills and see a large slope down. I wouldn’t recommend this ship to anyone. Someone is being taken away in an ambulance right now it’s that unstable! Almost all of the food on this ship has meat in it. It says veggie ...
I know that this ship isn't the newest or the largest, but I was thoroughly impressed by the Jade. As a first time cruiser I was worried that I wouldn't like it, on day one all of my worries melted away. The onboard crew was amazing! Everyone was so incredibly helpful and gave you the sense that they enjoy their jobs and genuinely want to make your vacation the best it can be. The activities ...
We received this cruise trip as a present from my parents, we went as a family.
We flew to Miami on a red-eye and drove to the Keys before getting on the boat. We checked in at 2pm and it was relatively easy. We were very surprised how unexcited/friendly/warm the check-in guy was. It was very odd and a deflating. Our room was great - we had a balcony and it was definitely a highlight to our ...
This was my fifth cruise, but first time with Norwegian cruise line. Embarkation time was about the same as all cruiselines. I didn't bring a wine bottle due to corkage fee, some cruiselines don't charge corkage fees. Ship experience was great. I spent time in the gym, spa, shops and lounges dancing. Adult pool and hot tub was located in the same area as the family pool, most ships have these ...
Embarkation was awful, we were suppose to board 11-11:30, we were held like cattle in a room with no where to sit down. There were crew members standing around the elevator with wheelchairs but they did not offer them to anyone. Disembarkation was fine other than the distance you had to travel. This ship did not have enough crew to keep things running smoothly. Every time you tried to get ...
It is hard for me to be objective about this ship. My wife and I sailed on this ship for our honeymoon in November, 2007 when she was the Pride of Hawaii and it was our first and best cruise. At the time it was NCL's newest and most expensive ship ever built. The ships built since then definitely have bigger and better features, but I have a soft spot in my heart for this ship even though she ...
I’m an avid cruise goer and I have yet to try a Norwegian cruise. We left from Miami and left for Cozumel on a 4 night adventure. This was the only cruise where the service and food have been bare minimum and honestly a 4/10. The food selection was terrible and the service staff looked as if they hated all their jobs. Each restaurant dining took a minimum of 1:45 min to eat and leave. The ...
Husband and I have never cruised so we decided on a quick cruse to try it out. Embarkation went smooth we arrived at port of Miami at 12:00 and on boat by 12:35. Our room was not ready but they said we could eat at 4 different places or grab a drink, We grabbed a bite and went sit by pool. We were very impressed with staff all very friendly. We booked a ocean Balcony room we were on 10th floor. ...
This was our 4th family cruise and first on Norweign Cruise line. We have cruised Disney, Carnival and Royal. This by far is our least liked cruise. This experience left a lot to be desired from food selection to entertainment to kids program. The only best part of our cruise was the unlimited beverage package we opted for as one of the bonus. If we didn't have this I probably would of gave ...
We have cruised on NCL before and love the freestyle aspect of the cruise. Some of the shore excursions were not very good but the overall experience was great. We traveled with 12 other cruisers from our area and what a blast. We were discouraged with the dinning package that we chose, we weren't able to use it because they were always full at the times we needed them. The other dining was very ...
